ABSTRACT

The present invention discloses the structure of the light weight building materials with sound absorption and isolation character. The structure comprises a plurality of sound-absorbing planks for absorbing sound generated by surrounding environment, and a plurality of fixing modules fix the sound-absorbing planks on the wall or the predetermined accommodating spaces of the ceilings.

FIELD OF INVENTION

The present invention relates to a building structure with soundabsorption structure. More specifically, it relates a structure of thelight weight building material with sound absorption effect.

BACKGROUND OF INVENTION

Generally speaking, human life is always affected by noises anywhere andanytime. More civilized society requests higher quality of life. Ifstaying under noises for long time, human health and mentality will beinterrupted. The noises will lead to not only poorer hearing, but alsoboring mood and ineffective working. Even people will become nervous ofnoises and expose to the risk of endocrine disruption. Therefore, peopleshould pay much attention to improve the noise problems and the buildingmaterials day by day.

A portion of sound energy absorbed by the sound absorption materials istransferred into heat energy to achieve the purpose of absorption. Thesound absorption materials are generally porous type. While the soundwaves enter into the pores of the building materials. The structurecauses multiple reflections and the sound wave interacts with thesurfaces of the materials having absorption character, and then thesound energy will mostly be consumed by transferring into heat energy toreduce the sound energy through the materials.

Generally, in the engineering of manufacturing the building materialswith absorption character for decreasing noises, the method has somedisadvantages as follows. (1) It is inconvenient to perform inconstruction sites, and difficult to transport by machines. (2) Thedusts with powders are excessively higher and the surroundingenvironments are easily polluted by the powders. (3) The treatedsurfaces will become untidy and irregular after the spray-on operation.(4) The treated surfaces will peel off when dank. (5) The treatedsurfaces are hard to clear after the spray-on operation. (6) After thedusts attaching to the surfaces, the efficiency of sound absorption willlower and the dusts will be hard to clear. (7) All operations should beceased before the spray-on operation is performed in construction sites.

Moreover, the absorption materials are generally the steel plates orcement and asbestos plates with higher rigidity, higher isolationperformance. The isolation materials are tightly arranged and the spacesare formed to isolate from the sound source. Those materials withisolation character are amounted in aseismatic rubbers with widerthickness between frames, such as beams, in order to avoid the soundfluctuations from transmitting within the materials.

However, the mounting engineering amounts and mounting components becomemuch numerous because the aseismatic rubbers for fluctuated isolationand steel plates for sound isolation are necessary to those frames.Therefore, these isolated structures have larger size in volume andoccupy wider space, but it is difficult to dimension to fit the spaceswith various sizes.

As above-mentioned description, the present invention provides astructure of light weight building material with absorption andisolation character to overcome these disadvantages.
